We've noticed a couple of new phenomena in Andrew's life the last week or so. The first is one I've dubbed "captain hook." All of you are, of course, familiar with the infamous tocking that betrayed the alligator that Hook was so deathly afraid of. Well, Andrew similarly has discovered a way of announcing his presence. He's latched onto a little white cup (almost like a second appendage) that he won't let go of even when he crawls around. If he's particularly intrepid, he'll crawl as fast as his little arms and legs will let him across the kitchen floor toward the hallway, with the little white cup betraying his presence with its reptitive "knock" "knock" "knock" against the linoleum. (If you look really closely, you can even see the fine string of drool trailing from his chin--indicative, no doubt, of his intentness).
The second Andrewism doesn't have a picture, but you'll be able to use your imagination. Andrew, like most babies his age, has been industriously babbling away. Lately, he seems to have picked up a new sound "Ch" "ch" which he likes to repeat at regular intervals, particularly when presented with either of two food favorites: cheese and cheerios. While I'm tempted to read this as an early attempt to communicate, I think he just really likes the sound: he also says it to me when I go to pick him up after his naps!
Our final salvo for the day is a picture of Andrew enjoying the baby-sized pumpkin his Grandma Patti sent him.
